Mehso-so

Important history lesson, but it read like a YA novel for me. If you are looking for an easy read, this will fit the bill.

Had to bring in the outdoor plants yesterday. 😩 I don‘t have very good luck with succulents so I‘m not holding my breath over the fate of this pot.

2022 wasn‘t a great reading year for me, but these were some of my favorites in no particular order. These were all either 4 or 5 ⭐️s for me.

I think it‘s been about a year since I‘ve been active on Litsy. Still reading as much as ever and I wanted to share two excellent stories about Native American women. Dovetails I picked up at an indie store here in Minnesota months ago and my book club is reading The Seed Keeper this month.
